--Need help with finding DRL's

I've been looking on the threads here and mostly from what i've seen there all super bright or don't do drl and high beam...

Is there something that will give me a 5000k color but isn't super bright?

Also what do you guys recommend for led yellow fogs?

For the dogs the BEST are the TRS LED FOG HOUSINGS. Maybe presidents day sale. Add film to make them yellow.


For DRL peeps get bright for two reasons, so you can see during sunlight and you have some sort of brights.

Any decent 9005 5000k LED should give good color. If brightness isn't an issue try superbriteleds.com. Will need a resistor for DRL or else lamp out warning.

I was looking at those trs fogs.... if I just get 3000k led ones will I need a resistor?

On the DRL's will it power the DRL and high beams? I read some lost high beam option.

Fogs never need resistors. Only DRL/Highbeam. To keep valid Highbeam you need a bright bulb.
This thread you said I don't want bright which IS IT.

Yes to power the DRL and high beam. Been reading and seems like it'll be bright in order to power both.

The fogs I don't mind if there bright...just want a nice deep yellow color.

I've been looking at these and maybe this will be your solution. Only thing is they are bright and will serve as a true high beam from what the description says. Anyone else want to chime in about this, because I am curious as well.

website advertises that they are. I brought this up in another thread and someone commented that it may not be? Not sure, so may give them a call and ask when I get a chance.
